2 Chronicles 27

1 twenty-five years old, was Jotham when he began to reign, and, sixteen years, reigned he in Jerusalem, —and, the name of his mother, was Jerushah, daughter of Zadok.

Jotám je bil star petindvajset let, ko je začel kraljevati in v Jeruzalemu je kraljeval šestnajst let. Ime njegove matere je bilo Jerúša, Cadókova hči.

2 And he did that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh, according to all that Uzziah his father had done, only he entered not into the temple of Yahweh, —though still were the people acting corruptly.

Delal je to, kar je bilo pravilno v Gospodovih očeh, glede na vse to, kar je delal njegov oče Uzíjah. Vendar ni vstopil v Gospodov tempelj. Ljudstvo pa je še počelo izprijeno.

3 He, built the upper gate of the house of Yahweh, -and, on the wall of Ophel, built he extensively.

Zgradil je visoka velika vrata Gospodove hiše in na obzidju Ofele je mnogo gradil.

4 Cities also, built he, in the hill country of Judah, —and, in the thick woods, built he fortresses and towers.

Poleg tega je zgradil mesta v Judovih gorah in v gozdovih je zgradil gradove in stolpe.

5 He, also made war against the king of the sons of Ammon, and prevailed against them, and the sons of Ammon gave him, during that year, a hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of wheat, and, of barley, ten thousand, —this, did the sons of Ammon render him, both in the second year, and the third.

Boril se je tudi s kraljem Amóncev in prevladal zoper njih. Amónovi otroci so mu isto leto dali sto talentov srebra, sto tisoč mer pšenice in deset tisoč [mer] ječmena. Toliko so mu Amónovi otroci plačali tako drugo leto kakor tretje leto.

6 So Jotham strengthened himself, —for he fixed his ways before Yahweh his God.

Tako je Jotám postal mogočen, ker je pripravil svoje poti pred Gospodom, svojim Bogom.

7 But, the rest of the story of Jotham, and all his wars, and his ways, lo! there they are written in the book of the Kings of Israel and Judah.

Torej preostala izmed Jotámovih dejanj in vse njegove vojne in njegove poti, glej, zapisane so v knjigi Izraelovih in Judovih kraljev.

8 Twenty-five years old, was he when he began to reign, —and, sixteen years, reigned he in Jerusalem.

Star je bil petindvajset let, ko je začel kraljevati in v Jeruzalemu je kraljeval šestnajst let.

9 And Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him, in the city of David, —and Ahaz his son reigned in his stead.

Jotám je zaspal s svojimi očeti in pokopali so ga v Davidovem mestu in namesto njega je zakraljeval njegov sin Aház.
